I love the idea of having a DJI system in 3" frame with dead cat design, so I props are not in view and i don't necessarily have to carry a gopro.
iFlight DC3 HD frame looked really interesting, so decided to try it.
Camera protection seemed really poor in original design, so I designed a printable mount.
I also designed the arm protectors / motor soft mounts + Cinerat style prop guards.
Air unit needed to go 2mm back to give some more room to stack, so I draw new mounts
Antenna mount looked horrible to my eye, so I utilized my earlier adjustable mount design here as well.

All green parts were printed of Sainsmart green TPU. It is the best color TPU on planet earth right now. Period.
Black antenna mount was printed of TPU 98A to have some more rigidity.

Awesome. I just built the same but using the iflight Succex f7 FC and ESC. What all you did for waterproofing. I had the capacitor next to ESC and cable management was an issue.

thanks! i just used a waterproofing laquer to every circuit board.

could you provide a link or an image for the product. also if resoldering is required how to remove it.

M490fpv Dec 28, 2019

This is what i'm using, but there are plenty of similar products. You dont need to take this off to resolder, it melts under the soldering iron

The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
